Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add bread flour, caster sugar, salt, active dry yeast, beaten egg, and milk to a large mixing bowl. Knead the ingredients with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook until a dough forms. Add the softened butter and continue to knead for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. (You may also knead the dough by hand.)

  2. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm area for 40 minutes, or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate cake and preheat the oven to 302°F (150°C).

  3. Melt the butter and chocolate bar in a small pot over low heat. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool slightly. Next, whisk in the milk, egg yolks, and sifted cake flour. Mix until no dry flour remains, but be careful not to overmix. Set the batter aside.

  4. Add the egg whites to a separate mixing bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until foamy. Continue beating while adding the caster sugar in 3 batches, and keep beating until stiff peaks form.

Chef's Notes

Recipe Source: Yum Yum


To make soft and fluffy bread, ensure that the dry yeast is fresh and active. Plus, properly knead the dough with a stand mixer or by hand until smooth and elastic. This helps to develop gluten, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture.

For the spongy chocolate cake, use room-temperature eggs and milk before starting. This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and promotes better volume and texture.

Use a gentle folding motion when incorporating the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture or when adding the whipped egg whites. This prevents the loss of air and maintains the fluffy texture of the batter.
